Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney leaving Government Buildings last night following an apology from the Tánaiste for giving a copy of a contract negotiated between the Government and the Irish Medical Organisation to rival GP group, the National Association of General Practitioners
Yesterday.
Tanaiste Leo Varadkar’s full speech to the Dáil.
Meanwhile…
Yesterday.
Sinn Féin’s Pearse Doherty challenges the Tanaiste.
Meanwhile…
Dreadful how Irish media frame the Varadkar Dáil questions yesterday as “no punches landed’ and “Varadkar escapes” instead of doing their jobs & analysing facts.
Did he break the law and act appropriately?
But no, in Ireland, its about theatre. Shame on Irish journalism. #pknt— ConcernedCitizen (@scrahallia) November 4, 2020
Last night: Meanwhile, In The Dáil
Telling question and nervous answer:

That’s a pretty decent Bertie impression, stutter ‘n all.
He was ripped asunder.
Catherine Connolly had him on the rack, lying while stuttering and stumbling, with her caimly delivered, direct question: ‘When did you realise you made an error of judgement?’

That’s the legal mind. It caught him completely off guard, and showed for all to see what he’s made of.
Nothing of substance at all.
I genuinely believe Leo has an emotional disorder, he has zero empathy and only gets emotional when directly targeted, he literally laughs at others problems.
He lied through his teeth and the luvvie media should be ashamed of themselves. Can you imagine if it was a Shinner!
Harris is very agitated. He can’t believe his ears. Varadkar sneakily throwing him under a bus.
Plus – he didn’t know the NAGP offices were opposite the Dail?
This lying, bumbling, corrupt idiot will be our prime minister once again in a years time
No
I suspect a quiet orderly stepping down sometime in the New Year
Maybe Easter
The Simons v Paschal I suppose
Paschal a clear front runner atm
Helen Mc could be the kingmaker here
ara’ let the lads take it from here now
i expect a loud stepping down later this week after village release more information.
the media, excepting village and BS, have been shown to be a bust on this whole story. there was a number of significant punches landed on leako last night
Not a hope Liam.
In fact, any aspirations he had for UN / EU high office have well and truly been scuppered too. If the EU thought Phil Hogan deserved to jump, then after this, there’s no point on Varadkar even dreaming of high office anymore.
Maybe as chairman of a Broadband or Private Hospital board, but even that’s doubtful at this stage.
Liars , one & all. Those batting for Leo now might as well have linked the stamp. Weasels.
I’m surprised at Helen McEntee saying that there were many contacts between the NAGP and the HSE when it’s clear she didn’t know. Unless Varadkar told her that there were, in which case she’s also been thrown under a bus.
Toíbín didn’t press him on his “not of this nature” answer as to whether or not he leaked anything from cabinet.
